DCSA MPP Broad Agency Announcement (BAA)

The Department of Energy’s Mentor‑Protégé BAA requires Mentor firms to submit a 15‑page white paper (Attachment 1) that outlines a comprehensive developmental assistance plan for the designated Protégé. The plan must allocate at least 50 % of the total effort to engineering and technical (technology‑transfer) assistance and detail the remaining business‑development tasks, including major work elements, timelines (not to exceed two years), and a cost breakdown by year. Mentor firms must identify any authorized subcontractors—such as HBCUs, MSIs, APEX accelerators, SBDCs, Women’s Business Centers, or Manufacturing Innovation Institutes—and specify the percentage of the Protégé’s assistance each will perform. The submission also must include historic DoD and other federal subcontract data for the Protégé, any related SBIR/STTR, RIF, or CRADA/PLA awards, and a full contact roster for key personnel. Additionally, mentors are encouraged to leverage Project Spectrum’s free CMMC Level 1 services. Proposals will be evaluated solely on the white‑paper content; letters of endorsement are excluded, and all communications must be unclassified unless otherwise arranged.
